Galloway Association of Glasgow
The Galloway Association of Glasgow is a charitable trust that was formed on 22 August 1791, and was originally known as the Glasgow Galloway Brotherly Society. Its aims have always remained the same: to aid charitable, benevolent or educational purposes associated with Galloway and to encourage a love for and interest in Galloway. Membership is drawn from ex-Gallovidians, people who have relatives from Galloway or who have developed an interest and love of the ancient province.
== Origins ==
Glasgow Galloway Brotherly Association was a friendly society formed by a few Gallovidian men who had gone to Glasgow to find better opportunities. In the days long before welfare benefits, they put aside a few pennies to help the wives and children back in Galloway, who perhaps had fallen on hard times when the menfolk were off in Glasgow seeking their fortune. At the same time it enabled retention of a link with their heartland and a real purpose of providing some form of tangible benefit for those at home.
